overview
What is PF Return Filing?
Every employer registered under EPFO is required to file monthly PF returns — no exceptions. The Employee Provident Fund is not just a statutory obligation; it’s a commitment to your workforce’s financial security. Monthly ECR (Electronic Challan-cum-Return) filing ensures your employees’ contributions are correctly recorded, their UAN accounts are updated, and your business stays clear of EPFO penalties and audits.
At Swasthik Capitals Tax Consultancy in Chennai, we handle end-to-end PF Return Filing for startups, SMEs, corporates, and factories — accurate ECR preparation, challan generation, and on-time monthly submissions.
💡 Did you know? If your business has employees registered under Provident Fund (PF), filing PF Returns and making timely contributions is mandatory to comply with EPFO regulations.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Both employer and employee contribute 12% of the employee's basic salary. The employer's 12% is split — 8.33% goes to the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) and 3.67% to the EPF account. Swasthik Capitals calculates this accurately for every employee every month.
If you are registered with EPFO, monthly returns must be filed even for zero-contribution months. Missing a month's filing attracts penalties regardless of whether contributions were due.
New employees need a UAN (Universal Account Number) generated or linked on the EPFO portal. Swasthik Capitals handles UAN generation, Aadhaar seeding, and activation for every new hire — ensuring they're enrolled from their date of joining.
Yes. Voluntary PF registration is available and often beneficial — it improves employer credibility and helps attract talent. Once registered, the same monthly filing obligations apply.
Employees can apply for PF withdrawal or transfer online via the UMANG app or EPFO portal using their UAN. Swasthik Capitals assists with the KYC linking and employer attestation required for smooth withdrawal processing.
